FEATURING FALL'S FALL FLOWER GARDENS... and some great Great Lakes Statistics
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
| LAKE ERIE Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes. It heats and cools more rapidly, thus affecting local climates. The lake is also more susceptible to intense wave action and wind-generated changes in lake levels. Water that enters the Lake Erie basin remains there for about 3 years. The drainage basin that supplies this lake comes from the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, and the Province of Ontario. |
|
|
|
 |
|
| LAKE SUPERIOR Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes. The volume of water in this lake is greater than that of all four of the other Great Lakes combined. Water that enters the Lake Superior basin remains there for about 191 years. The drainage basin that supplies this lake comes from the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan, and the Province of Ontario. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| LAKE MICHIGAN Lake Michigan is the second largest Great Lake and the only one entirely in the United States. Its volume is less than half that of Lake Superior. Water that enters the Lake Michigan basin remains there for about 99 years. The drainage basin that supplies this lake comes from the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. The shores of Lake Michigan have some of the largest and most beautiful sand dunes of all the Great Lakes. |

Is This Drawing on a Rock a Warning? |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| GIANT ROCK This two story high needle of dolostone fell like a projectile pointing down and burying itself deeply. The tilted stratifications of the rock are clear evidence that it is out of place. From the Canadian side it is possible to discover the niche in the Lockport formation from which it fell. |
